Grapes

Here is something interesting for all you foodies (or for those of you who are into grapes).

When we were living in Houston and I had just found out we were moving to Chile, I immediately thought about what foods would be available.  So, naturally, I looked at where a lot of the produce came from.  I remember one thing coming from Chile was grapes, and I thought, oh good, I like grapes, so I'll be able to get them there.  Well, after 4 months of living here, I finally saw grapes for the first time in Jumbo.  And get this, they were imported from California...

Good times.

And yes, they were VERY expensive but I bought them anyway.  I've had enough of apples and bananas!! (Did I mention there isn't a great selection of fruit at Jumbo? My nana offered to take me to la Vega - the local crazy market where I wouldn't go by myself solely for my lack of speaking and being able to negotiate.  It seems much more intimidating than the one in Santiago - which I am going to take her up on next week.  That will be another post, don't worry).
